Cyberbaiting occurs when students, either individually or as a group, make a plan to act so outrageously that the classroom teacher loses self control and begins yelling or acting in another unprofessional manner. The teacher is surreptitiously recorded, and the video of the momentary loss of control is posted to social networking sites.

Mrs. Hoskins, classroom teacher, was the vicitim of cyberbaiting. She lost her composure today when Brian and Irma kept disrupting the class. Her mini-tantrum was videoed by Johnny, who posted it on YouTube.
